Sounds like....”In a state of fear”. The government keeping citizens off balance by propagating one crisis after another.

Think about it. Russian suitcase nukes, Hole in the ozone, Avian flu, West nile, In the late 70’s, new ice age, then global warming, then Climate change, Swine flu, Aids, EMP, Mega quakes, rising ocean levels, acid rain...you name it.

When one hysteria ends, another begins almost immediately. I think it is a way to distract citizens....keep’em off kilter.

As long as you’re paying attention to the crisis you aren’t paying attention to their shenanigans.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed - and hence clamorous to be led to safety - by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
